and im not saying you guys are stupid, cause obviously you know that you have to care for bites, just like any other wound

No one was stupid enough to take your title as literal advice. Don't you worry about that.

I think most of us figured out you have absolutely no experience dealing with snakes that are capable of inflicting a serious bite. Case in point - comparing a amethystine python bite with a dry bite.

For what it's worth, a dry is not a scrub python - but you knew that - right? Keep your wits when a scrub bites you and you are left with a couple of punctures after you wipe up the blood.

Even if you keep you hand still, a dry will gnaw chew, rip and tear at your hand. They are not constrictors that go for a bite and a wrap but bully feeders that overpower and swallow smaller prey, but rip and tear and lacerate larger items like your hand. You are left with tears and gashes that require stitches. Not punctures that require a little dab of neosporin.
